Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a recessed mounting apparatus, a suspended ceiling and recessed mounting apparatus system, and a method of installing a recessed mounting apparatus. The recessed mounting apparatus includes a recessed mounting frame that forms a partially enclosed space with a lower perimeter defined by flanges configured to sit atop or otherwise connect with portions of a suspended ceiling frame. The recessed mounting apparatus includes or is attached to one or more attachment mechanisms from which equipment like temporary lighting, sound systems, and display projectors can be secured. To support the recessed mounting frame and attachment mechanism, one or more suspension support members are attached at a first end to the recessed mounting frame and at a second end to an overhead structural support.
